Beautiful, peaceful place!!
If you are looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway, this is it!! We felt the stresses of the daily hurry melt away as soon as we entered the gate to the property. When you enter the cabin and walk straight to the screened in porch and look out over the valley, you know you selected the right place. We loved the views, talk about a wonderful place to have your morning coffee and evening wine. We loved that the cabin had everything we needed to cook, tons of games to play with the kids, plenty of space to run around and be carefree. Going down to the falls and playing in the water was number one favorite for the kids. We absolutely love this place, and William and Kelly were so easy to communicate with. Visit Ryan's Rest!!!!
Haley and her family were guest you want! They enjoyed the house and treated it as if it was their own, leaving it as clean as they found it! Would love to host them in the future!
Amazing Vacation highly recommend
It was a beautiful scenic location. There are many hiking trails near by. The view was outstanding. The cabin is gorgeous, very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook for the family. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and there was plenty of linens,blankets,and towels. The view was beautiful with all the mountains. The property owners were easy to get in contact with and very pleasant to speak with. The cabin is very peaceful and quiet. The lack of wifi was great,it allowed the family to engage in quality time with each other.The owners instructions were clear on how to find the cabin.I highly recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a beautiful vacation. A big thanks to the owners who gave my family and I the opportunity to stay at their place and have such memorable moments.
Thank You so much for that wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and we are glad you enjoyed it too!
Wow..unbelievable hosts!!
I cannot say enough good things about William and Kelly! We should have been travelling this Wed to spend a few days over Thanksgiving there. Due to the very unusual circumstances of the wildfires I emailed them with my concern's on Friday. They had already decided they would work with us if we chose not to risk going to the house because of the fires. They explained the forecast changed daily and they couldn't be sure what would happen as it was totally dependent on wind speed, direction etc. It will probably be fine, but my children are asthmatic and we had booked to get some fresh mountain air, enjoy spectacular views and hopefully stargaze and didn't want to risk there being a smoky atmosphere. These wonderful people could not have been more accommodating..they let me have over the weekend to think about it and look at the trends. I wrote with our decision today and there were no questions, William just acknowledged the cancellation and issued a full refund with happy holiday sentiments. You cannot ask for more than that!! We will most definitely be booking again in the near future and recommending them to friends. Wow! William and Kelly, thanks so very much again and very happy holidays to you!! Blessings. Jill
Wonderful place to stay!
Great home with a spectacular view! The location is excellent close to Linville and easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. A good place to just relax!
Thank You so much, it was wonderful sharing our home with you! we hope to see you again.
Already Planning our Next Visit...
This cabin was just what we needed and reminded us how important it is to 'get away'. The view is amazing from the screened porch and loved the nearby waterfall/creek for our toddler. Toiletries and kitchen were very well stocked which made cooking meals at the cabin stress-free and enjoyable. Beds in the main house were very comfortable as well as living room furniture. Conveniently located to the Linville area made getting out for the day easy without much driving. We never did even open the bunk house or turn on TV/electronics as we were always outside exploring so can't comment on those features. Owners were extremely responsive and concerned with making our stay as pleasant as possible. Our son now asks when we are going back to the 'mountain house' and with a sigh I say 'hopefully soon'.
We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves and would love to host you in the future!
Magnificent Mountain Retreat
The pictures don't do this place justice!!! Kelly & William have succeeded in providing a home away from home for many future visitors. The views from the deck down the valley are spectacular and provide a wonderful place to truly relax over coffee at sunrise or wine & cheese at sunset. Kelly has the kitchen equipped with every item that a cook could want. If you aren't into cooking on vacation, just drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway to find some outstanding local fare. The bedrooms are spacious and the new furniture is very comfortable.
For kids, the Bunk House is a dream come true.... a place of their own equipped with books, games & videos of all kinds. If indoor activities get old, the swing, grape vines and blueberry bushes are steps away. Bonus, there is a creek & small wading pool located at the bottom of the mountain.
My husband and I joined the neighbors for golf at the Linville Falls Golf Course located at the entrance to the neighborhood. The course is challenging and beautiful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend get-away and hope to visit again soon! Thanks for providing everything for a stress free weekend!
Thank you so much for your review! We are blessed to have such awesome neighbors and are glad you enjoyed yourselves. We hope to have you with us again!
